To clarify, I meant creating a .environment in protoype_user, where
none currently exists, that has the following:
# The following line sets double-sided printing as the default
setenv LPROPT -Zduplex
For bonus points, to we want to muck with the idea of adding "-h" to
LPROPT as well? I know where the SAVE folks stand on this, but I
think a lack of header pages causes people's jobs to get lost,
especially on the high volume cluster printers. I don't really care
either way.
